On tonight's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" we began in the kitchen where Meredith and Cristina are talking about the $175 million dollars they need to buy the hospital. Did anyone else notice that Meredith finally looks pregnant?
Alex walks into the kitchen and they won't say a word about it to him.
Back at the hospital, Mousey has a new hair cut! I really like it. She is on Bailey's service for the day and Bailey is pissed.
Tonight Debbie Allen returned as Catherine Avery. I love her in this role. She wants Jackson to come to Boston. In that conversation Jackson and Richard band together to challenge her which was kind of cute.
Alana has brokered a deal with Pegasus that is scheduled to close the next day at 8:00am. Meanwhile, our gang is pitching their purchase plan to a venture capitalist, Julian Crest. My first instinct was that one of our doctors was going to be a former flame of Crest's, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Bummer.
The first two people they meet with our young guys in sweatshirts. Callie says, "Will they give us an answer before or after their nap time?"
Back at the hospital, Mousey overhears Alana tell the board president that they are selling the hospital to Pegasus for parts - firing people, transferring equipment, etc. She tells Bailey, then she tells her intern friends, then the chief approaches the interns for the dirt. The chief finally meets up with Bailey and she sighs, "I thought I'd be chief of surgery some day." Awww, Bailey!
Back at Crest Capital, our crew meets with Julian Crest himself. He had researched each and every one of them and determined that there is no real management experience among them. They head back to the hospital to try and remedy that problem. Meredith approaches the chief, and Cristina approaches Owen.
Hunt agrees to help and begs the board for one more day to submit a competitive deal. Meanwhile, Derek and the chief board Julian Crest's helicopter to try and convince him once and for all.
Back at the hospital, Jo starts to realize she isn't going to work at Seattle Grace anymore. After witnessing Alex wow a little boy and his family, she starts to cry. Around the corner, Alex tries to comfort her but she can't be cheered up. She confesses, "I don't want to never see you again." I really thought Alex was going to kiss her right then!
Meanwhile, our gang learns that Julian Crest didn't bite. He "just wasn't feeling it." Our team is deflated, especially Callie who starts talking about selling Mark's condo and moving. I was happy to finally see Sophia and Zola in this episode! They were missing for the last few weeks!
At the close of the episode, the chief confides in Catherine that their hospital deal fell through. Was it just me, or was it weird to watch the chief having pillow talk with someone other than Adele? It felt too soon.
In the final scene, Catherine calls the gang together and tells them the Harper Avery Foundation is going to be their investor. I so did not see that coming! My friend who was watching with me called it as soon as Richard told her the situation.
The catch? She wants Jackson to sit on the hospital board as the foundation's representative, which means he is our gang's boss. You could physically see all of their faces go from elation to fury.
Then, in the best line of the entire episode, Catherine says to a stunned Jackson, "Give your mama a kiss, she just bought you a hospital."
Things just got very interesting!
